Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
What's up? Hi? Hi? I didn't know if you're going
to say anything else or not. You know, my brain
didn't know either. Hi. Hey, Hey Ryan, how are you
doing good? I'm good? How are you Mark? I'm excellent.
This is Swollen Cinema and uh, we're back better than
ever and we're gonna talk about die Hard to keeping

(00:28):
it going.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Last time was die Hard. Yeah, now it's die Hard too. Well,
we keep going in the series now. But this is
set on Christmas Eve, so yeah, you know when this
episode drops.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
So it'll be will be for Christmas Eve, but still
close enough. Yeah, I mean so this is almost like
our Christmas episode. Yeah, I know there was Like it's
it's funny because, like I said, we.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Had to last and it's a good thing. We've been
having our holiday party, so this is working out. I
mean outside of the food somebody forgot.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
To bring I forgot the food. Yeah, but no, like
weird waited like last time about the about like if
die Hard was a Christmas movie or not, and there's
all like, well, die Hard too was also Christmas. Like
this one I could pep, I can get on the
side of like, Okay, it wasn't really a Christmas movie.
This one die Hard too, because they barely mentioned Christmas. Yeah,

(01:21):
they do it a little bit at the end, but
it takes place on Christmas Eve, nineteen ninety two years
after the original movie the the Tower incident, The Towers
die Hard, the Tower Incident, you know, and this one's
die Hard to die Harder. Yeah, I am the tagline

(01:41):
is pretty sad. I am sad that they just didn't
keep it running until they got like die Hard, son
of die Hard by Hard seven, that'd be funny, Bruce
Willis and at that point just make it a spoof
because son of Diehard, because well that one the fifth
or sixth one, I think they did five? Fine, wasn't
that like his son? I don't know, Maybe I never

(02:02):
watched it. Which one was was for?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Like Jay Courtney was in it? Die Hard with a Vengeance?
I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
I mean, I could look it up, but I won't.
We're old school here.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, we'll have a bar argument without looking up any details.
Go home, Go home, knowing I was totally right, he
was wrong, realizing neither one of us are right exactly.
We weren't even on the right movie. But yeah, like this,
this was a it was a good movie, but there
was like there was a ton of callbacks the first one,
you know, but not nothing that.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Was nearly as eye catching as the opening scene for
the Villain.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Right it was William Sadler, Yeah, doing what naked karate?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, full on ass oh yeah, full on naked in
a hotel. I don't remember that part. When I saw
this back in the day, I almost like, do I
got the director's cut? Yeah, I think it's obviously it's
been so long since I watched any ihearts and this
one I probably watched the least amount of times. Like
even he's doing kicking, I'm like, we're Paul's here any second.

(03:09):
But I was like I had I didn't remember that
at all, And in my head, I'm like, I don't
remember this coming back as like foreshadowing at all. Where
he's like, I mean, he gets into a fight at
Jenne with McLean, but that's he's not naked when he's
waiting him. No, but he's doing it. He's doing some
of the same moves. Oh yeah, he's doing doing the moves.
You know. Honestly, I don't think we needed it.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I mean, maybe the ladies can say different, or if
you're into dudes, yeah, you'd be like, no, we needed it.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
That was awesome. He was super fit, but it wasn't
like right, I don't know if that was just like
what the point was like it was it just to
be like, no, this guy's definitely the bad guy. Look
at him, He's like, he looks like he's psycho and
he's naked in the hotel room doing kark karate. Yeah,
that's that's probably we could tell he's a psycho. Right.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's funny too. I was just thinking, uh, mal Rats.
Kevin Smith's Marats came out in the nineties, but there's
this scene where Michael Roker is doing like some karate.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
It is in a toab.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
His howth falls off, so it's like his naked ass,
and now I'm like, holy shit, did he was he.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Making fun of Was he making fun of this? I
could that easily could have been, because that completely I
mean I remember that.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
And if he was, that's hilarious because again seeing Michael
Roker's ass, so nineteen marl Rass was nineteen ninety five,
so it's quite possible him doing karate and a battelling
and then it fell off and he was nagging was
making fun of this scene.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah, I mean I almost feel it has to be, like,
there's no other reason, because yeah, because he was making
fun because they made it a laugh, because he had
the towel on and then it just falls off and
airs his ass. Yeah, I had to be making fun
of it.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, there's no other reason. Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I just reached out to Kevin. See what he says, Hey, Bud,
you're a filmmaker. Other question, Well, he's a huge he's
a huge fan of Diehard and he was even in
die Hard four or five. Yeah, that was the computer.
He's been a wicked fan of die Hard and Bruce Willis,

(05:10):
well until we made that one movie with Bruce Willis.
Apparently they made amends. Since then, did they make amends? Okay,
well so not that we haven't really talked much about
Diehard yet, but just to get off on it's called
colorful banter, Yeah, there is apparently, like, uh, he told
a story on one of his his evenings with Kevin
Smith things where Bruce Willis was coming to l A

(05:33):
or something La La, and he he called him like
He's like, I get a phone call in the middle
of nowhere from Bruce Willis. You know, he's like and
I you know, we hadn't like I hadn't been nice
in the press to him, like describing our experience together,
and so I like picked it up. I'm like hello,
you know, he's like hello, and he's like and like

(05:54):
he was as nice as could be, just said hi,
I was just trying to catch up, and he goes,
you know, I'm I'm I'm catching up and I'm gonna
gonna come out. I want to want to see you.
I want to hang out like whatever. It's like it
was like we never had any ill will each other
on the movie at all. Like it's like, oh, he's
like yeah, maybe Bruce was like we didn't. This is
how I am with directors, right, I mean I did

(06:15):
enjoy whenever they had their fight, like they had their
like Bruce Willis just got disgusted with him as he's
like doing the Jake showing you how like he's like, oh, yeah,
I looked at my my uh whatever director not the
director but the whatever film guy or whatever. It's like
doing this like showing how big he wanted to screenshot
to be, and Bruce's just got completely disgusted by, like
you're a director and you don't even fucking know, like
what's what film or what lens you want to use

(06:37):
or whatever. I did enjoy that, Like I could see
how someone like Bruce Willis who's used to working with
these huge guys like now I'm working with like Rinky
Dink Kevin Smith, and he doesn't fucking know what LENDSI
wants to use.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
The moral of that story is, yeah, I'm pretty sure
I've seen Jamal Rats was a shout out to this
scene and die Hard too, An went.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
On for a bit. Yeah, way longer than I thought. Yeah,
way longer. So many kicks, and there was a mirror and.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I'm like, pretty sure we just saw something in the mirror.
Oh yeah, I mean, I'm not taking it back. I'm
not taking it back from my wife. She doesn't need.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Williams. Williams Handler's There's a couple of shots from the
back when he was kicking. I was like, are we
going to see balls like this? Like how big are
his balls? Well, you know, maybe they put a Hollywood
sock on it. Right? Moving along, too much ball talk,

(07:34):
but that's how the movie opens, right, Oh yeah, it's
all yeah, this time instead of New York la la.
We're in d C. And now it feels like Christmas though,
because we got snow. Yeah, and he's there, what Bruce
is there to hang out with his wife's mother and

(07:56):
the other parents, the in laws.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Except she's on a plane coming for you know, her
wicked important job.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
She's still working for Knakatomi, even after that big debacle
they had before she got instantly put in charge of
the whole operation. Like I said, I did. I did
love like all the throwbacks like that because and you
could easily not catch it, but she had. At one point,
she's on the plane, she folds something over and it
says Nakatomi on it. I was like, that's pretty, that's
kind of cool. And she was, oh, because he had

(08:24):
a pager, yeah, oh yeah, and she called it and
he was like, oh you here's like, honey, it's nice.
It's the nineties.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Microwaves, micro chips and phones and airplanes.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
I'm like, oh, yeah, it's super high tech here in
the nineties. Probably, I mean yeah, like back in the
Night Book nineteen ninety one when this film Thing.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Too came out came out in nineteen ninety so they
obviously were filming in eighty eight eighty nine.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
So yeah, that that was fucking high tech back then.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Well also because she paged them. I don't know if
anybody remembers this. Back in the day, there was a
thing like called a pager and it beep a number
that was paging you go call that phone number. Yeah,
and for the most part, I guess you probably knew
the number. So that's what he has, and it's a
setup for later that something happens to him. But yeah, no,

(09:09):
he's he's rocking a pager. He's in the middle of
a Dulles airport and you know, even just trying to
find a phone, there are so many people in this airport.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Oh yeah, it's Christmas Eve, everybody getting in for the halls.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
And even just like one lady gets off the phone
and he picks it up immediately and just puts it
right up to his face, his ear, his mouth, and
like I was like, you know, those phone those phones
were like huge for carrying germs.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Of course, hundreds of people all day, just all walks
of life just coughing into him, snotting on them.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, that's funny because I didn't think of that at
all until you just said it, well, you know the
perks of being in a German phone. But now yeah,
but now that you say it, you're like, oh, yeah, god,
it's probably pretty gross. R had a nice grime on it.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Probably it's pretty gross, you know. But it was even
speaking of phones, like you know those phones. No gross,
not as gross as like everybody's cell phones. Oh yeah,
the things that we do with our hands and then
touch our phone.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Where I touched my phone as I'm doing things right,
But we're not talking about phones. Nope, No, that was
I This like the whole The fun part about this
was the whole cast was so many recognizable faces, even
like before before he gets inside the airport, I don't

(10:32):
know the guy's name, and I didn't even bother look
it up because I know he's been in He's just
one of those guys. He's that smarmy cop at the
beginning gives him a ticket and gets his car.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Man, was he like in NYPD Blues or something. No,
that was Dennis Frownz who was the police captain or whatever.
He yes, Oh okay, I thought you're talking about him, Like, yeah,
his brother like his in the movie. His brother like
my brother Vito whatever, but he was that. That guy
was also like in small roles like that, just the
smug looking asshole and all these things he's been in.
And I even saw him as like, fuck, this movie

(11:00):
has everybody like yeah, because then you see Dennis Frown,
you see John Amos, you see Fred Thompson's and like,
all these guys are instantly recognizable people for even not
even big roles. You know, like even Fred Thompson who
was the like the head of the airport, you know,
the air trap troller guy, still wasn't that big of
a role.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
And also even the villains you had, I don't you
know Williams Sadler, I don't know what else he's been in.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
That that was huge.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
But there was one guy here is one of the
throwaway bad guys that we already talked about a movie
he was in. Oh yeah, you didn't recognize him, Okay,
Williams Sadler is actually he was, Oh he was death
in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
He's in the Shawshang Redemption the Mist. But Patrick or
is this something Patrick the t two? Oh yeah, that
was one of the bad guys. I didn't say that's
that's who the main character reminded me of. But also, yeah,
there was a scene, yeah, this the ambush scene, one

(12:06):
of the bad guys that gets shot Robert Patrick. Yeah,
he looked I saw him, and he looked so much
like the main like the main bad guy. I was like,
they both had the same kind of slick back pair
right that Arian Nation. They both looked like they would
do Karate Naga. And yeah, yeah I did. I did
see him, and I went the same way as like,
he looks just like the main bad guy. The day
screw up and he had to pull double duty.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Holy crap, I'm looking at this and I can tell
you right now I must have blinked. John Leguazama was
in this. I read that somewhere and yeah he had.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
He might have. He had to be one of the
bad guys in the church. Yeah, he was one of
the I think he was one of the marine guys.
Marine bad guys, Okay, I think so barely on screen apparently. Yeah,
so I just I read about that he was supposed
to have a bigger role, but they're like he was
He's five six and a half and Bruce Willis is

(13:03):
like five eleven, So he was basically too short to
look like a menacing bad guy, so they really cut
him down. But that led to it. That's what led
to him getting the big part and executive decision because
the director, what's his face, Rennie Handler or not handler,
Rennie Harlan. Yeah, he put him in. He got him
in executive decision, got him the role in the executive decisions.

(13:26):
So he got that big part then because which then
he has a great story about and Kurt and Kurt
Russell yelling at him. So yeah, yeah, like I missed
it too.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Like we could almost bring every time we talk about
an action movie, we should try to connect it to
Steven Saggah, just for just six degrees of Sagall.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
It'd be fun.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
For twenty twenty five episodes. We're going to connect Steven Sagaull.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Somehow to every movie and have one joke and locked
them loaded about Stevens. Yep, you're gonna have one joke.
But that's what twenty six episodes, twenty six jokes. I
think that's doable.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
It's totally doable. Yeah, for sure, Okay, I'm in Oh yeah,
that's right, die Hard too. So now now John though
is John McLean is now La PD yeah, you know,
because he realized like, yeah, no, I guess I'm definitely moving.

(14:28):
My wife is not coming back to New York because
she makes the big bucks. So I'm the one moving
happy family.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah you think she did. She makes that kind of money.
Just move her mom and dad from Washington, d C.
Out to LA. Just make it simple. Yeah, because apparently
the car he drove there was his mother in laws
and it wasn't like it was a big, a fancy
sedan and it was an old like Oldsenbuil ninety eight
or something like that. He parks it and it gets towed. Yeah,

(14:56):
right away.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Again, here's the funny thing about like the whole movie
he's in. He's in DC, he's in l a cop,
but man, he just runs the show. Oh yeah, he
murdered a guy immediately. Yeah he's well that's what I
was thinking about that. I loved it because and everybody's like, yo,
what the hell, bro? And not like the cops were

(15:17):
not not arresting him nothing. I mean, he had a badge,
but it's like, uh, but you're not in New York
or a DC cop. You can't go around shooting people.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Oh yeah, I loved how he was just so on
to like to say, like he's he's waiting for his
wife in the uh, in the lounge, waiting for a
plane to arrive, which doesn't apparently arrive for like another
couple of hours, which seems early on his part, but
he's he gets there and uh, he immediately like just
side eye everybody, like and he sees the guys with

(15:51):
like it reminded me of like the cartoons and ship
where you see like the Tommy guns wrapped in presents
and stuff like that. Yeah, so there's a couple of
guys walking around the airport with presents and holding the
very suspicious lead. So he's side eyeing them and looking
here and there, and they sees him go into a
back room and yeah, then gets into a gunfight with
him kills one of them, And I just love the
far pact that he part that he gets like in

(16:13):
Dennis Frowns's face and it's like, you know, there was
a murder back there's the crimes. You gotta do this,
you go to that. No, not only did they not
shut the airport down, which part of me goes like, Okay,
it's hard to do that. Like Christmas Eve, you're going
to shut the airport down for a couple of punks.
What he says is punk stealing luggage. But no, they
don't even go like look because he didn't tell I
don't know if he didn't tell them. They were like
looking at something weird back there or whatever. They don't

(16:36):
even do anything. They just get the body out and
proceed on like you know, business as usual.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
But he yeah, they but they shot the one guy.
There have to be a gun from him. Yeah, no,
the Dennis frowns.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
His character was like extremely inapt right and just wanted
to yell and tell John McClain, like, you know, you
get out of here. What are you doing? I'm like,
somebody was just murdered. Yeah he was. But even like
when they were them out, what wait, you gott to
wrop off this this is a crime scene. What do
you what are you doing? Like the DC cops were
like chuckleheads. Oh yeah, it was all about yeah, the

(17:08):
business usual, all right, get the dead guy out of here,
even though ship that happens all the time, John, Come on, man,
where are you from?

Speaker 4 (17:17):
La?

Speaker 1 (17:19):
I do love? They just just ran La into the ground,
some fucking fancy LA cop whatever nerd he did have
like one hell of a sweater on for in la
Oh God, that's like, I'm glad he got rid of
that sweater in the movie. That thing was like that
was like screams nineties, Like if I would show up
right now the recorder was wearing that, he would be like,

(17:43):
did you own that back in the nineties, Mark, because
cleaning out the closet, it was one hell of a sweater.
I'm glad he got rid of it. Yeah, it's rather
bulky fancy. Yes, I love it. Because that point there
was like he started they start with the callback, so
like he's, uh, he basically gets kicked out of the

(18:03):
police station, so he's you know, he's on his own mission.
Here we go, Here we go John McClain a one
man army again and he meets up with the janitor,
Like the janitor, like it was funny before that that
guy is shot.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
He just took fingerprints because that the one airline. Remember
he checond lady had a stamp pad. Yeah, fingerprints.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
But he's yeah, he's just taking over the airport and
he's got that that airline person faxing.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
And then I did feel like al got shafted. Then
shout out a bigger part.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, because he faxes over and I was like, hey, buddy,
like they're still like besties, right, oh yeah, and then
now just a couple of months kept hanging up on him.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, he literally just kept hanging up on al thanks Alt,
like I'd been better if I was like, I'll be
on a plane. Well that's when I'll help you solve
this crime. In my head.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
The of course he couldn't get into Dallas, so that
Andy flying Harrisburg drive dolls. I'll be there in eight
to nine hours.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Uh no, that's what That's why he laugh is like
he's he starts doing all the ship and then he
meets Walter the janitor, and now he's the new Owl.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yes, so they were playing like that at the end. Yep,
he's the new Owl. Like it's like it was. It
wasn't necessarily callback, but it was like okay, and you're
you're on the formula because die Hardness were like, hey,
we need an now right why everybody loved him, right,
we just need a little kind of not comic but
like you're kind of lower little side comic relief thing. Yeah,
and he you know, and he's a he's a vehicle

(19:35):
to get him some certain information and things like why
did Walter have one of the walkie talkies? The one
time I thought for a second, because again it's been
so long, it's like, oh shit, Walter's a bad guy.
He has a walkie talkie Like that never even entered
into John McLean's conscience, Like, no, he's definitely he just
bound us off a dead guy, like of course.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Now and again, the whole plot really is the bad
guys want to rescue, liberate, liberates a drug dealer from
uh what what Valverde? Valverde, it's a fake country, also Verde. Yeah,

(20:15):
who's being extradited here to America.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
And they're going to liberate. That's that's what you do
when you call it. What's a cry you called liberate
Instead of freeing someone, I'm liberating them.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah, because they're bringing them into Dallas. So they have
this big elaborate plan to uh hack into the the
electrical system.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, and then but re route air traffic control to
their setup they have going on at this church kind
of right off from the way. You have a very
convenient setup that the that that was just out there
and no one was guarding.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yes, So yeah, they're able to take down the system,
all the runway lights and take control even talking to
the airlines.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, and that's how they're going.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh and it really was like super villain move to
crash a plane, Yeah, a plane to show him like, hey,
we we are not fucking around.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
I like, I didn't enjoy how they like they put
the guy that was entering the stuff in was like
you could see everybody else was like, oh shit, we're
doing this, Like nobody else really wanted to, but they
knew if they didn't they were they would also be
dead at that point. Yeah, the other bad guys were
listening because he was acting like once he took control,
he lowered what they lowered the uh the altitude. Yeah,

(21:33):
they calibrated the altitude of the planes to be yeah
to the runway.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
So it was like I guess the guidance system was
showing it was two hundred feet lower. Hats they were
going to run right into the runway and they did.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
They didn't back.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
They John tried to save them. He ran out there,
runway made torches. They didn't seem in time and it. Yeah,
so the villains like literally murdered entire plane.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Fool people prove their point, and I think and in
the movie I got a sense that it kind of
what do you call that?

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Like so because he he was crying a little bit,
he was like god because when they crashed and they
was like motherfuckers, you motherfuckers, almost like I don't know
the word I'm looking for, but it made John there
was like a he became.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Resolute, very giz you were galvanizing. Yes, he's like you
are going down. Yeah. That was that was when everybody
like it was it was just a threat. Then then
it was real because all you just fucking killed two
hundred and thirty people without giving a ship right. It
was like a British Airlines. It was the fake windsor
airlines that windsor which sounds very legit.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Well I already had a British accent, so I know
I assumed it was it was real because the one
steward just told the old lady that I was just
like the British railway, we're always late and we'll get
you there.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Sorry, that wasn't really good British accident. And then one
minute later, yeah, in the in the runway, I mean
they got them there. They weren't alive, but they got there,
but as it does is solidify McLean's desire to bring
down the bad guy right when nobody else can here. Again,
here's the thing. He's a lone wolf. Oh yeah, always

(23:27):
finding out that key information that leads to the next
way no other cop can. Well, I mean, that was
the thing. It was. It was hilarious because up until
what like right before that or that, well, even that point,
the Frands, his character Carmine, I think Captain Carmine or whatever, like,
he still didn't like want McLain involved in anything like

(23:48):
they were. He was still pushing him out and they
still didn't believe him really, and then finally they all
went they well shit, but they did for them one
mclaan to like, get out here. You know, you're not
authorized to be in the control tower. They didn't do shit.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
And I said, it had been like, oh yeah, hey,
you're not allowed to be here, this is in your jurisdiction.
And McLean's like, I do what I want and nobody,
nobody stopped him.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
I didn't enjoy the fact that they made it kind
of seem like they all had a grudge against him
because he was the famous New York cop. Like they
like they because they I did, like how the bad
guy's like, oh everybody knew who it was funny, Like yeah,
because even because he even had stuff, even when he
was dealing with this bullshit, How can the same shit

(24:31):
happened to the same guy twice? There was a lot
of one liners. Yeah, because even the colonel was like, oh,
I enjoyed your interview on whatever he's like, but I
think you were out of your out of your legal
nightline or something that was funny, stupid throwaway.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Oh I just had a note about this, But I
just again it's one of the sign of the times,
like when he was in the airport, and again, if
this is nineteen ninety, I don't I can't recall. I
don't know if I have a flu in the nineties,
he's just like lighting cigarettes up. Let right, Oh everyone
smoking the airport?

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Everybody? Can you still smoke? We're smoking on the planes? Yeah,
like you saw like there cutt into the planes and
people were smoking on the planes. Still. Oh yeah, you
don't see that shit anymore? Hell no. But I mean
I gain like, was it still in the nineties, Like,
oh yeah, that was probably I mean that was probably
late nineties, early due out Like Okay, yeah, they didn't
know cancer wasn't a thing until like late nineties. I

(25:23):
could imagine being on an airplane and uh, people were smoking.
Yeah that was well. That was always made me laugh
growing Once that became a thing, Like the restaurant part
of it, it always made me laugh because like, yeah,
whenever I was growing up, we go to pizza Hut
and it was just like there's a half wall in
the middle of the rest of that side smoking that
the smoking section, it doesn't matter, but there's still a

(25:43):
haze about a foot load from the ceiling the entire restaurant,
like creeping deaths just coming your way, like you gotta
smell like smoke. Oh did we mention that is also
a winter storm? Perfect storm apparently like two fronts coming
into just to converge.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
On a is it making visibility difficult for the airplanes.
They're dealing with a terrorist, right, and of course an
iceery icy runways.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Uh, And it was that just to I don't add suspense. Yeah,
they know.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Hey, look it's it's Christmas, uh December and Washington d
C snow. We're definitely making this a Christmas movie because
you didn't need all the snow for extra drama.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Right, oh yeah, yeah, yeah really, I mean it just
made it seem like winter time. It didn't really add
anything to the story, which was apparently funny because they
wanted to be snowy, but whenever they're filming in DC,
it was unseasonably warm apparently. Oh and they do get
him back into a air conditioning event. Oh yeah, that's whatever.
He's like, the same shit, what's happened? Oh?

Speaker 4 (26:50):
I love it?

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah, no, but I gotta crawl around this month. Can Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
I'm like the writers knew, like there was the first one, like,
dude is huge, Like if we do some of the
same things, everybody love.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
But with the with the liners, the one liners, it worked.
It wasn't like, oh, he's in an air vat again. Yeah,
it kind of worked because he's like, he's like, damn it,
I gotta do it for me. I was like, keep
doing it. I'm loving the cheesiness of your jokes and again,
it gives you a reason to be and uh, well

(27:23):
given a reason, like they were definitely stretching the uh
you know, the believability of the ship he was getting
himself into. But it was still so much fun. They're like,
which is why it actually reminded me a little bit
of of Last Action Hero, Like how like, well how
they kind of make reference to in the Last Action here,

(27:44):
like he's like my life was just like he's like,
my life was normal. Then all of a sudden, all
he's crazier and crazier things keep happening, and I was like,
this was this was number two of Guy Hard where
the crazy like you know, they have to amp it
up the crazy every time to make it like more more,
not believable, but like something to watch, you know.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Atlantish action packed, super fun. Speaking of action packed.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
I gotta use the restroom. I don't know, this is
a great place to take a break. I would assume, Yeah,
go ahead, man, he'll be right back and we're back,
all right. Yeah, So last week left John McLean he

(28:27):
was in the middle of an ambush, you know, speaking
of the fact that we had to use them John
McLean and all this chip going down, and even in
the beginning of the movie he was kind of was
hanging at the airplane airport bar a man never had
to pee. I mean, I mean, Hollywood, I understand he

(28:47):
was on screen the entire time. You know I could
have ducked in who who knows what he did in
the air duct, right, I mean when I'm outside, if
I'm if I'm outside an airport runway that's full of
snow and I got a pee, I'm just gonna go right,
no planes are coming in. Yeah, we don't need to
write that into the movies.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
But yeah, so we know the villains are super bad,
willing to crash a plane for this drug dealer, and
uh now shit gets super real just.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Like just the backup just on one thing. Is it
weird to anybody else if you watch this movie when
they're in this church that has the conveniently has the
access to these all every wire, like every you know,
piece of wire that goes into the control tower, that
they're just sitting there with chainsaws and axes and cutting
through them. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Now, wasn't there like a quick throw throwaway line that
when they ran the expansion on one of the runways,
they ran some stuff near this one little drainage or
something like that.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, so there's a quick.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Line to try I mean try hard, to die hard,
to try hard to explain like right, why yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yeah, but no, like it was it was just the
fact that they are cutting through these electrical lines with
access and chainsaws. It was cracking me up because I
feel like they showed sparks. I'm like, I don't feel
like you were properly grounded, probably not highly trained military people, right.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
If I know anything from acts eighties and nineties action movies, yeah,
pretty much do anything.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, yeah, just to laugh but anyway, yeah, sorry, moving
along now you threw me off. Sorry okay, but now
after that, then John finds out that Holly's playing his

(30:48):
wife's has about ninety minutes of fuel.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
So now we had we know John has ninety minutes
to solve this freaking problem, right, yeah, there's no on
Christmas Eve, he's letting his wife die.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
I love how they put a time stamp on it
like that, like you have and you have nine has
ninety minutes. But at the same time, like they cut
to her plane like earlier, like or around that time,
and the fuel light was already going off, right, It's
like they were flying. I know, it comes down like
oh it's good man, we're running on fumes, right, yeah,
like the uh, the stewardess comes into the cockpit at

(31:22):
one point to say like, hey, the people are getting
a little, a little little worried back there. Just throw
on the TV. They'll be fine. She's like, that works
for me, big smile, and she looks over to seeing
the it's going like you gonna die soon.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
And there's a whole subplot with the news reporter from
the first movie who's on the same plane as Holly.
Uh having access to some wireless or some some microphones. Yeah,
they could pick up some radio signals, and then calling
from the bathroom phone to tell uh everybody what's happening. Yeah,

(32:02):
caused his mass panic in the airport. Uh didn't need that,
but I guess we just needed another moment where Holly,
oh yeah, uh.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Fucks this guy up, right, And this time it was
with a taser. She barely touched him though, he just
passed out right in the shutter. Oh yeah, he just
he was out like a light.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
I mean, like I've seen I've seen before where they
hold her on she touched him, and he was like,
I'm out.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
The tasers is probably pretty new in nineteen ninety two.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
Like maybe even not even like maybe that not even
well built. Right, Yeah, so that one little touched me.
I mean that old lady was holding up the beginning.
I was laughing at the foreshadowing already, like I just
got this. I'm like, when's that coming back?

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Yeah, and I had to laugh. She was like, yeah,
you probably can't get a taser on air playing any
more today, can you. There's a medal on that. Yeah,
like that thing whenever it was double arcing, like huge, Yeah,
you definitely might stop someone's heart. It looked like she
had a generator in her person to find power that
it might have been degenerate something else in your person.
I don't know. It's got two plugs. That's good. Good,

(33:08):
So you see, Uh, okay, who where were we?

Speaker 4 (33:17):
So?

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, we then we that's not enough. The military shows up.
They're helped there.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
You know, they're going to help out and guess what, Yeah,
they're in on it. And that's what they seem cool
for a bit, even like uh, the one actor he
was kind of vibing with John McLean, who's the main guy.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, the John Amos, Yeah, major Grant. The only thing
I ever think of is coming to America running mister McDowell.
That's the only thing I can see him as. But yeah, yeah,
so I'm like, hey, that's that guy.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
But yeah, even the so again because the Williams Sadler character,
he had it all planned out so he knew the
military would be sent him, so it was his own guys,
I guess, because they're gonna get like so much money
from this drug dealer.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, whether this is drug lord or this bizar of
some sorts. Yeah, I like the whole like in the
whole thing, and you don't know that you obviously not
right away. You don't know that they're uh that they're
the bad guys. Also they're but again, like it's funny
how they're everybody's just playing along, like going like supposedly
going through the motions, but not doing anything. John McClain

(34:33):
is initiating every every massive action in the entire movie.
Like these guys are like, oh, well, now the military's
here and they're going to help. And they did literally nothing,
like literally nothing they did the entire time until until
they got to these They basically just.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Like kept complaining about John McLain taking matters in his
own hands, right, I mean, because now we know why
they wanted to like not do much.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah, and but then like you don't know into it,
and I feel like it's not the first movie I've
seen it in, but they they have the double side
or the of the the marked magazines for their guns,
like the blue. The blue was like blanks, the red
was but that I like, I said, and I don't
know if it was after before, it had to be after,
but I was like it was funny because that's the

(35:17):
whole thing where John McLean finds out like he's a
bad guy and he brings one of those machine guns
because he was firing at a guy like point blank
and doesn't hit him. He was I mean what I mean,
there's no way I could have missed him, right, I
mean you missed a lot of guys throughout this movie, John, Yeah, okay,
but yeah, but he comes back to the to the
airport and puts it in karmis, like right in the

(35:39):
captain's face and put up like just unloads. I'm like,
if that's a real situation, someone's firing back right, Like
oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
I had to laugh at that too, because there's like
I don't know, twenty cops yeah, all around him with
guns and all around and they pull their guns but
nobody fires. Uh somebody, somebody would have fired. There's because
there's no way there's no way. He's standing there like,
oh wait after like you know and be like, oh wait,

(36:07):
it's just Blanks. Is our boss that we think is
a dickhead didn't die yet.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
That's one of the only reason they hesitated. I. I
didn't like him, like him, but no, I was like,
there's no way. The minute he pointed that gun number one,
I guess because there was a cop and they were
dealing with him that they didn't think twice when he
walked in with the gun, right, yeah, uh, the minute
it sounded like he shot, the Captain John mcclaim would

(36:36):
be dead. Yes, somebody would have shot and then that's
it Diehard. Then credits bro credits, that's it. The movie's over.
It's the new guy who doesn't learn that.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
To me, he was trying to make a point and
I get it right, so stupid. I can't fathom where
twenty police office wouldn't fire.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
And also at that point they're still they still weren't
really out of the terminal. A lot of this cost try.
I had no clue who he was. He looked crazy,
he looked insane. He was just wearing a big puffy jacket. Yeah,
bloodied up, beat up, and he just he pulled the
gun up on their captain. Yeah, but yeah, I mean
that's that's what made me because I think but he
needed that to realize, like, oh shit, Shenanigans are up.

(37:26):
Damn it that John. Yeah, Yeah, I'm gonna get a beer.
You be sure, get a beer. Yeah, Like I was saying,
uh at that point, I don't think the reporter guy
had caused mass hysteria yet. And so he's firing that.
I mean it's a blank, but it's still loud. So
he's firing this machine gun in the terminal. And if

(37:49):
the people hadn't quite realized something's up when nobody's plane
had landed in like three hours or two hours or
whatever it was, I feel like at that point maybe
they thought things might something might be going to rye.
But yeah, like that because that's that whole scene was
I mean fun. Fun. But again, yeah, it's it's hard

(38:11):
watching Diehard two right after Diehard because Diehard one was
so tight and yeah, well written, and this is like,
like I said, they have to have to stretch a
little bit to make things more fun, like more fun
and little outlandish.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
But I know there's some people arguing, like h M,
Cleane has no jurisdiction at all at the airport.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
I'm like, it's a movie, right, Well, that's the point
he was. They were reinforcing that point the whole time.
That's why KRM, like the captain was yelling at him,
like you're out your juristic. That was. Yeah, that was
made very well known that he's out of his jurisdiction.
But he kept doing things that were right and finding
things out, So of course you're going to keep letting.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
That guy help, right. He was like literally the best
coup yeah, by far. And in my head I went
at this point, I'm like, probably was the best cop
in New York. Yeah, best cop in LA. Now, best
cop in DC. And I went, if he's like really
good at this, why is he Why is he just
a cop? Shouldn't he be like a high ranking detective
or something. Yeah, we're like, you know what, I'm going

(39:09):
to train every cop to be like me. Oh man,
that would be chaos if every cop was just the
diehard cowboy. They all cowboys, okay, And we do get
that line, I know.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
I was just gonna say that was That was one
of the biggest disappointments was the stretch of getting out,
just force feeding that line in the movie.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Oh well, before we get there, there's one scene I
really like when he hit working with the one of the.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Airplane people that had maps the church.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
He's like, oh wait, if they did this, that means
they're close. That's how he found out they were at
this church. But he has a fight with a guy
because his wife calls him and his beeper goes off
his pager and he has that big fight with one
of the bad guys and then takes an icicle and
jams that through his eyeball. I'm like, all right, I

(40:04):
really really liked that.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah, well, I mean, I mean, if you didn't see
that one coming, like during the fight, like you should
watch more action movies.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
True, but I really liked it. But I also was
getting his ass kicked for some time, like he wasn't
like op like he was, yo, you're reaching up to
get that icircle. There was a lot of moments where
he pulled something out at the end because he was
really on.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
The verge of just oh no, I being I like
to see. Don't don't think I didn't like that.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
But it was like, but it was one thing I
was when the camera shows you these they're going into
some of the eyeball.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Yeah right, I mean at the end of both movies,
he's always like it's so hilarious, just how like a
like a one sided UFC fight covered in blood. And
but even like the the fight on the wing at
the end with the with the colonel, he like he
has the everybody he has a bowie knighte. Apparently in
this movie that was apparently standard issue for the with

(41:03):
these guys and and most ninety movies. Right, yeah, but
he has it and he like gets on and they
didn't show up, but they played it off like he
was digging it into his shoulder, Like he comes down
hard enough and gets close enough that McLean starts screaming.
I was like, you could have showed, like, with the
amount of violence and gore in this movie, you could
have showed a little bit grinding.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
And that's right, Like this movie gets to the point
where John McLean is straight up mission impossible, Tom cruising ship. Yeah,
uh gets on, Oh gets the news reporter helicopter. Let
you get in a little funny funny line, uh, because
he needed a ride on the helicopter so you can

(41:45):
give me an exclusive story i'll let you ride me
or something.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
I'll let you have my I'll let you pregnant me
or something. I'll have you, I'll have your kid. Yeah,
that was what it's not to kind of ride. That
was a good, good one liner.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
But now now we're a mission impossible. He's jumped off
this helicopter onto the wing of the plane. Yeah, and
I'm like, damn, it's bbab where Tom Cruise got some
of his ideas.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
And then we lead to it leads to like an
airplane wing fight, well two fights, right, I see, that's
the crazy part because usually I mean you have the
succession in a movie of like you got to keep
progressively fighting the bad guys until you get to the
main guy. But usually like the like kind of like
the main henchman is way before the boss, where this

(42:29):
was like back to back. We're running out of a movie.
We've got to go back to back. So first John
Amos jumps out, booms, a major jumps out, he gets
killed through the engine. Yeah, and it doesn't blow up
the engine at all. Like I was like, those things
are me grinding? Oh yeah they are, I'm pretty sure.
But I feel like something that big, like that's a
lot of bones and coats and everything else. It's a
lot of engine.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Oh yeah, I agree, and those things well you know,
but those things could be taken down by like uh, seagulls,
Canadian geese when they hit into the engines.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
This is a really big engine. Yeah. Then he was
my favorite part about is now what happened to Captain America?

Speaker 3 (43:08):
No?

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Captain Tom Cruise played the guy Sully. Captain Sully. Didn't
he take off and then the land in the say
Tom Crui said, Tom Cruise? Yeah, Tom Hanks, Yeah Sullivan,
Captain Captain Sully. Ye know the movie be too boring
for Tom Cruise. Yeah, that's what it didn't like some
sing find the engine. He had to put it down

(43:30):
in the in the harbor Hudson or Hudson River.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Hit some hit some geese or something. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
So yeah, so you know, and John Amos was big enough.
If a geese is gonna take down your John Nams
was gonna take down there. But I mean, maybe it's
just the size of your engine, is it?

Speaker 1 (43:45):
What the whatever they're pulling into that they said they
wanted a cargo plane, you know, and they so they
pull in like the John Amos and the Marines or
whatever army whatever pull in front and they have this
you know, troop truck and it put in front of
this huge plane. Cut to interior. There looks like they
couldn't fit another person on that plane. They're like a

(44:07):
private jet. Yeah, it looked like Sandpiper Air from nineteen
nineties wings sitcom, Like they couldn't be magic. Yeah, but
it's just cracking me up, like this huge plane. And
then they're inside cramped like sardines going and he like,
there's there should be some broom to move about the cabin.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Yeah, But he wins that fight, and then Adam Sandler
comes out in the wing and then.

Speaker 4 (44:25):
I'ms Sandler, Adam Sandler, I mean William Sadler. He would
be a way cooler movie WGB. And then he starts
doing some of those karate moves he did naked. I'm like, oh,
they brought that back around. It would have been more hilarious.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
If he can only do it in the new If
he does the same, he has clothes off, he can't fight.
It's a very restricted movie. It's like his kryptonite, Like.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
He has to take his clothes off and then he's
a karate badass, but if he's wearing clothes like cat
can't fight.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
Yeah, and this is one of those rare movies where
you get to that final fight and the main guy
kind of wins, like he wins the fight, like he
kicks him off the plane, but you don't see that
a lot. You know, you don't see him. I mean
eventually he dies obviously, But yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
Because Bruce was able to pull the fuel dump fuel dump, which.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
I feel like, if that's real, it shouldn't be that accessible, right,
Like it was really easy to it was really easy,
really easy. It's okay.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Uh, John falls off the wing of a movie in
seven forty seven barely an inconvenience.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
No, yeah, he doesn't talking all you're fine, and he
even takes.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Time at the end to like pull out his lighter
get a uh, I don't know, Well whatever looked that
you would call on his face and then light it
because that fuel was chasing the plane.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Yeah, you can you if you haven't seen the movie.
It blows up. It's cracked me up though, because it
looked that was one of the like one of the
sad parts that like the only the only bad like
special effect. I mean, maybe there was more just but
I just watching it. It looked bad. Whenever it's like, oh,
they really made a trough for that fuel, you know, yeah,

(46:07):
like you because it's spraying out of the plane. But
they made that trusting because they needed to light it,
so they made that. Like they looked so bad. I'm
not even sure that would work. Oh no, there's no
way that you'd be able to hit that, Like they'd
run out of fuel way quicker and they shouldn't be
able to make it. But no, I don't think it
would light like that going up because there's so much

(46:28):
wind and snow and everything else. Like it's it's not
gonna make it right.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
But bad guy's dead. Bad guys dead, John McClain two
bad guys zero.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Yeah, get used to it. He's going to dominate you,
bad guys.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
He got like three or four movies coming and uh yeah,
but Holly's plane lands, big hug. Now he's got to
go to Christmas with his in laws. You explained to
his mother in law what happened to the car got toned.
You know, she never questions why he's just covered in blood. No,
I can only assume that she just knows, Like God,

(47:05):
damn my husband's the only hope I have. Like, yeah,
he's only hope America has. If it wasn't for John McLain,
like Terrace would just be taken over everything.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Help me, John McClain, You're my only hope. He is,
like he's a Jedi at this point. Oh yeah, he's
just bumbling through the through the snow covered in blood. Holler,
and she sees him. It's like, oh, everything he's been through.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
And then a couple of hugs and then the maintenance
guy that Walter shows up. But it's almost like Bruce's
like they laugh, Hey, like dude, you should go.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
To the hospital. But it's like his wood was just
like I'm all good now, well speaking of that, like
that was funny that first Uh, the first fights are
the first scene and with the two guys in the
luggage room, like he kills well, he kills the one
guy with the weird baggage compressor thing whatever. Uh but
then if that's legit, yeah, it's like if they're smashing

(48:02):
bags like that, there's nothing surviving. But like the other
guy that he gets in that fight with, he hits
him with a golf club in the head, bangs his
head off a metal post and it looks like he's
bleeding in the fight scene. Yeah no, he would be
concussed right there. But then he walks into like the
little church things like Cochrane didn't make it. Sorry I'm late,

(48:22):
but we got the mission done. He just just clean
his day and not looks like looks like you do
a scratch on him. Weird. It's just a weird continenty
thing for me. Hey yeah, Hollywood, getting hit with a
nine iron man, it's going to take me out if
you ever want to take me out a nine iron
Yeah do it?

Speaker 2 (48:40):
You take most people out at least at least for
a couple of days. Yeah yeah, I mean no, that's
the kind of concussion that we can't let you go
to sleep.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Oh yeah, that's a concussion where we need to watch
your skull because it's not fully formed anymore. But again
barely in inconvenience. Yep, still still got the job done.
Uh yeah, that's it. Die Hard too wasn't as good
as the first one. No, not quite. No, I mean
it's but not but not quite, But it was, I

(49:12):
mean because it was still a lot of fun. Oh yeah,
like he'll still I still enjoyed the shot out of it, And.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
You're right if I waited two years to see it, oh,
I've been like, but watching it two weeks apart, right,
I'm like I can instantly compare it right away, like, oh, no,
the first one's better.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Yeah, dare I say the first one is more believable? Right?
And I think that's like I said, enough, but that's
the it was missing a little bit of like his
camarader with al. They couldn't quite get it with maintenance
guy Walter or whatever. But it was Yeah, because I
think they replaced.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
You can have William Sandler dance around but ass naked
all you want. He is definitely not Hans Grueber.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Hans Gruber, he just got groobed. Yeah, I'm glad Hanser
didn't dance around nick.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
Uh because yeah, the the first movie had some elements
that were just but they magical.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
But him and Hans group were both had good like
apparently the what was no sorry finish? They changed They
both changed their accents. Remember like whenever he gets on
the thing, he sounded like he was from Texas all
of a sudden, So yeah, we got you there one
note four, you got you come on in now like
it was what's happening? Why did he get why he's

(50:26):
acting like he's in Dallas and not Dallas. So that's hilarious.
There you go.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Villains can do accents. That's what we learn in four
and a half hours watching two die Hard movies.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Villains can do accents and karate naked if they're good. Well, obviously,
John McLain is probably the same character from the Unbreakable movie.
I don't think he can be destroyed. He's a superhero.
I'm gonna be honest, if I had the that dude had, like,
I would almost bequest that I do karate naked because

(51:04):
that dude was ripped. He was ripped. Yeah, I would
be super you know what, You're right, one hundred percent right.
If I was that ripped, I think I'd want to
do oh yeah, naked karate. They're like, well, we don't
want to naked it all right? How about a thong?
Like I need to show I just worked for so no.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
I thought you were talking about just in your house. Oh,
like you'd wake up in the morning, do a sun
salutation and then naked karate the next thirty minutes. I
don't need to be in good shape to do that
you made on camera, right, Yeah, it's ship. My basement
only needs to be warm for that. Like, hey, do

(51:40):
you do naked karate? Let us know, uh, swollen cinemat
gmail dot com. We we really want to know.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Yeah, so I'll go, like what I give, Like, I
gave you like a nine and a half an hour,
and I'll give it an eight and a half nine.
It was still fucking yeah, I'm right there. I'll go,
I'll go eight and a half. I watched it.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
I like the first one better. I gave it a
similar score, like an eight and have eight point eight.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
Maybe I forget, but it was fun, and I think
that Bruce Willis was definitely.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
Bring in as much of the as John mcclaney as
he possibly could with all the different lines.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
But it was fun. Two hours.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
It was like two hours and four minutes. That was
with credits, like an hour and fifty six. If you
didn't watch credits, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
It wasn't my fast great that's and that's the credit
to both like the Diehard one and two is they
went by pretty like for being two hours, they didn't
seem like two hours. They were. Yeah, there's still it
may be maybe been a little more outlandish, but it
was still like action wise pretty tight. You know. Now,
this one, to me, I wouldn't even make an argument

(52:47):
on Christmas movie.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
No, because I didn't even get that vibe. No, you
can call it a Christmas Eve movie. Orp, it doesn't matter.
It's not the same argument as one. This one clearly
was just set in that time period and it was
just all action explosions. Unless you think it's a can
be defined as another Christmas movie, I'm like, doesn't matter.

(53:13):
The first one I have given in the second one
like nah, yeah, oh it's not a Christmas.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Movie, I think I think that was just they almost
said it was Christmas just for a callback to the
first one, like oh my god, every Christmas is just
so crazy. And that was it.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Because the third one like takes place in the middle
of summer. Oh yes, they're like, all right, let's get down,
We're not filming when it's snowing.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Yeah yeah, So what's the uh, what's the next adventure?
So I was looking for just one more like loosely
action Christmas movie, and I found one that had Samuel
Jackson in it. It's called Long Kiss good Night. Oh oh,
but I wanted to bring Samuel Jackson in, and I said, well,

(53:56):
we already did one and two, so I'm gonna fucking
pick number three on three. We're just going three because
they were doing it. It would feel weird to pick
like die Hard three, like any year and a half
later or something. So yeah, like I'm and I love that.
I love them because I want to bring Samuel long
kiss toon Night. Okay.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
I was singing that movie where Christina Ricchie was in
it where he kind of had her tied up.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Oh that's Django and Chain. No no, no, black snake moan. Yeah,
black snake moan. I don't think no. No, I've actually
never seen Long Kids good Night. I have no idea
it's Geena Davis and Samuel Jackson. But I was like,
I love Samuel Jackson. He needs to be on and
I was like, oh, what if I'm gonna pick it

(54:39):
for Samuel Jackson, I'm also just go die Hard three.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Hell yeah, Well, we're gonna keep it going because I
also what I saw on the internet the first three
of the ones to watch stop after that. Yeah, all right,
so we're gonna finish out this series because that would
drop in the new year, so it would.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Be the new week between Christmas and New Year's anyway.
So there we go. Watch it.
